This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.180 line:15%
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:08.460 line:15%
Hello friend.
4
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.290 line:15%
My name is Denise Renner
5
00:00:10.290 --> 00:00:13.260 line:15%
and I wanna welcome you
to my program today.
6
00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:16.050 line:15%
I'm so excited about this program
7
00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:18.720 line:15%
because I had a wonderful privilege
8
00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:21.510 line:15%
of teaching an amazing Bible school in the
9
00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:23.430 line:15%
mountains of Colorado.
10
00:00:23.430 --> 00:00:27.450 line:15%
It is the Bible School called Charis Bible School:
11
00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:30.270 line:15%
Andrew Womack's Ministry there,
12
00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:32.460
and I was teaching there
13
00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.330
to 1200 students about
14
00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:39.240
Expectant Hope.
15
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.810
Oh, it's so wonderful.
I want you to have this.
16
00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:45.060 line:15%
This is a five part video series
17
00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:49.260 line:15%
and it comes with the
companion study guide.
18
00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:50.520 line:15%
I want you to have it
19
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.670 line:15%
because this teaching's gonna get deeper
20
00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:55.710 line:15%
and deeper on the inside.
21
00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:57.540 line:15%
And why would I say that?
22
00:00:57.540 --> 00:01:01.110 line:15%
Because we need this teaching right now.
23
00:01:01.110 --> 00:01:02.460 line:15%
Because there are problems.
24
00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:05.130 line:15%
Maybe you already have
some problems in your life
25
00:01:05.130 --> 00:01:07.260 line:15%
and you're like, I need help.
26
00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:10.170 line:15%
I need some encouragement.
27
00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:15.000 line:15%
This is going to encourage
you on using your faith
28
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.220 line:15%
and recognizing the hope
29
00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:20.130 line:15%
that we can have - hope is powerful.
30
00:01:20.130 --> 00:01:22.290 line:15%
And I'm gonna share that with you.
31
00:01:22.290 --> 00:01:24.570 line:15%
We're gonna talk about Blind Bartimaeus.
32
00:01:24.570 --> 00:01:28.980 line:15%
Oh, what an example in the Bible of a man
33
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:33.600 line:15%
who had great hope and
it ignited his faith.
34
00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:34.800 line:15%
So I want you to have that.
35
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:37.620 line:15%
And also I want to encourage you
36
00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:40.320 line:15%
to get my book Unstoppable,
37
00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:43.830 line:15%
because you gotta have unstoppable faith.
38
00:01:43.830 --> 00:01:46.800 line:15%
We can't stop because of unforgiveness.
39
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:50.430 line:15%
It comes, it comes to all
of us. What about fear?
40
00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:53.700 line:15%
Fear can come knocking at our door.
41
00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:58.197 line:15%
And And what about the opinions of others? Oh, blind
42
00:01:58.197 --> 00:02:00.896 line:15%
Bartimaeus had to deal with that
43
00:02:00.896 --> 00:02:02.329 line:15%
but he really pushed through
44
00:02:02.329 --> 00:02:04.710 line:15%
and I wanna talk to you about that today,
45
00:02:04.710 --> 00:02:07.320 line:15%
but I want you to have my book, Unstoppable.
46
00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:09.000 line:15%
But I wanna start today
47
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.810 line:15%
before we start our
teaching with a testimony,
48
00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:14.040
amazing testimony.
49
00:02:15.870 --> 00:02:17.820
It's from a man.
50
00:02:17.820 --> 00:02:20.010 line:15%
And he said
51
00:02:20.010 --> 00:02:25.010 line:15%
that he was watching a service
when Pastor Denise prayed
52
00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:27.810 line:15%
for the healing of a person's hand.
53
00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:31.410
It was a word of knowledge. At that time,
54
00:02:31.410 --> 00:02:34.830
he had a large lump on his left hand.
55
00:02:34.830 --> 00:02:38.340
So the word of knowledge
was that God was moving
56
00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:39.930 line:15%
by his spirit
57
00:02:39.930 --> 00:02:44.820
and that he was healing somebody's hand.
58
00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:48.480
And this man had a large
lump on his left arm
59
00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:52.080
and as he listened to the
prayer, he felt it was meant
60
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.300
for him. In faith,
61
00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:56.040
he accepted that healing.
62
00:02:56.040 --> 00:02:59.050
Initially, the lump did
not disappear right away.
63
00:02:59.050 --> 00:03:04.050
In fact, it seemed that
it even grew larger.
64
00:03:04.090 --> 00:03:08.860
However, he had no doubt that
he had received his healing.
65
00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:13.600 line:15%
And he even shared this
with a friend who responded
66
00:03:13.600 --> 00:03:17.290
that she would not believe
it until she saw it
67
00:03:17.290 --> 00:03:18.970
with her own eyes.
68
00:03:20.140 --> 00:03:24.310
In a couple of months,
the lump turned purple
69
00:03:24.310 --> 00:03:29.050
and began to literally
disappear before his eyes.
70
00:03:30.670 --> 00:03:34.690
And now it is completely vanished.
71
00:03:34.690 --> 00:03:36.760
Isn't that magnificent?
72
00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:40.060
Now that was, it always starts
73
00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:42.430
with the healing power of God.
74
00:03:42.430 --> 00:03:45.220
Sometimes a miracle is instantaneous,
75
00:03:45.220 --> 00:03:50.140 line:15%
but sometimes a miracle
takes a period of time,
76
00:03:50.140 --> 00:03:53.560 line:15%
which that's what happened to this man.
77
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.990 line:15%
But anyway, I want you to open your heart
78
00:03:55.990 --> 00:03:58.150 line:15%
and receive from the word of God
79
00:03:58.150 --> 00:04:03.150 line:15%
because this man believed
in the great power
80
00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:05.260 line:15%
of what God could do,
81
00:04:05.260 --> 00:04:08.560 line:15%
and he was using his faith. Now
82
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.210 line:15%
join me.
83
00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:14.170 line:15%
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
84
00:04:15.070 --> 00:04:16.390 line:15%
Join Denise Renner
85
00:04:16.390 --> 00:04:19.960 line:15%
and dive into the study of God's word which has great power
86
00:04:19.960 --> 00:04:24.040 line:15%
to strengthen faith, inspire,
change, heal physically
87
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.560 line:15%
and spiritually, and most importantly,
88
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.060 line:15%
help you learn about the power
89
00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:29.740 line:15%
of Christ Jesus living in you.
90
00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:32.980 line:15%
It's time with Denise Renner.
91
00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:38.740
I wanted to ask, did
anybody have any manifestation
92
00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:43.330
of God's present tangibly on
your body in the last service?
93
00:04:43.330 --> 00:04:47.050
You have a manifest. We're gonna minister
94
00:04:47.050 --> 00:04:49.810
after this session a
little, a little more.
95
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.970 line:15%
So if you'll turn in your Bibles to Mark 10,
96
00:04:56.350 --> 00:04:58.210 line:15%
we're gonna talk about faith again.
97
00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:05.650
So it doesn't, I know,
I mean here you are,
98
00:05:05.650 --> 00:05:08.920
Bible school students, but
doesn't the word just get more
99
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:09.940 line:15%
and more precious
100
00:05:09.940 --> 00:05:13.582
every time you look at it: every time you read it,
101
00:05:13.582 --> 00:05:16.942
every time you meditate on it, it just gets more
102
00:05:16.942 --> 00:05:18.100
and more precious.
103
00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:20.980
I'll give you a little secret.
104
00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:25.450
I was challenged about
six months ago from a man
105
00:05:25.450 --> 00:05:29.740
of God, and he was challenged
years ago when he was
106
00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:33.280
17 and he had just gotten
outta jail and came to church
107
00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:35.140
and he was challenged by a man of God.
108
00:05:35.140 --> 00:05:39.700
And this was the challenge to,
109
00:05:39.700 --> 00:05:41.950
to read every day
110
00:05:41.950 --> 00:05:46.480
Ephesians 1:17 - 23,
111
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.590
and Ephesians 3:16 - 21,
112
00:05:50.590 --> 00:05:54.190
every morning, every night for six months,
113
00:05:54.190 --> 00:05:57.470
and you'll see that your
life will totally it.
114
00:05:57.470 --> 00:05:59.930
It will be different,
it will be different.
115
00:05:59.930 --> 00:06:02.660
I have done this now for six months
116
00:06:02.660 --> 00:06:06.500
and it's opening up my
eyes and my heart and
117
00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:11.500
and those scriptures that
they, well, can we, I you,
118
00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:13.730
I can't open that and
not read the scriptures.
119
00:06:13.730 --> 00:06:14.960
So we gotta read the scriptures.
120
00:06:17.390 --> 00:06:19.100
So Ephesians 1:
121
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.230 line:15%
2:17 - 23: That the God
122
00:06:30.230 --> 00:06:33.170 line:15%
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the father of glory,
123
00:06:33.170 --> 00:06:37.370 line:15%
may give unto you the spirit of wisdom
124
00:06:37.370 --> 00:06:40.430 line:15%
and revelation in the knowledge of him.
125
00:06:40.430 --> 00:06:44.240 line:15%
That the eyes of your understanding being enlightened,
126
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.320 line:15%
that you may know what is the hope of his calling
127
00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:51.380 line:15%
and what are the riches of the glory
128
00:06:51.380 --> 00:06:54.170 line:15%
of his inheritance in the saints?
129
00:06:54.170 --> 00:06:57.350 line:15%
And what is the exceeding greatness
130
00:06:57.350 --> 00:07:02.330 line:15%
of his power towards us who believe. Students, the power
131
00:07:02.330 --> 00:07:04.370 line:15%
of God is coming towards us right now.
132
00:07:04.370 --> 00:07:05.720 line:15%
That's what that says.
133
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.750 line:15%
What is the exceeding
greatness of his power
134
00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:12.800 line:15%
that's coming towards us who believe according
135
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.080 line:15%
to the working of his mighty power,
136
00:07:15.080 --> 00:07:18.230 line:15%
which he worked in Christ when
he raised him from the dead
137
00:07:18.230 --> 00:07:21.020 line:15%
and seated him in heavenly places far
138
00:07:21.020 --> 00:07:25.100 line:15%
above all principalities and
powers and might and dominion,
139
00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:28.160 line:15%
and every name that is named in this age,
140
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.080 line:15%
and also that which is to come
141
00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:33.140 line:15%
and has put all things under his feet
142
00:07:33.140 --> 00:07:37.340 line:15%
and made him to be the head
over all things to the church,
143
00:07:37.340 --> 00:07:39.800 line:15%
which is his body, the fullness of him
144
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.210 line:15%
that feels all in all.
145
00:07:41.210 --> 00:07:44.030 line:15%
I tell you, those scriptures,
if you meditate on him,
146
00:07:44.030 --> 00:07:45.590 line:15%
if you take this challenge,
147
00:07:45.590 --> 00:07:47.390
I'm telling you it'll change your life.
148
00:07:48.650 --> 00:07:50.450 line:15%
It will open up the word of God
149
00:07:50.450 --> 00:07:52.880 line:15%
to you like you've never seen it before.
150
00:07:55.370 --> 00:07:58.490
And just to let you in on a
little secret, the first man
151
00:07:58.490 --> 00:08:02.600
that gave the challenge was Kenneth E Hagin.
152
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.710
He said to Mark Hankins, he said,
153
00:08:06.710 --> 00:08:11.540
he said, if you want the word
of God to become alive to you,
154
00:08:11.540 --> 00:08:13.550
do this every day.
155
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.230
Do it twice a day if
you can meditate in it
156
00:08:18.230 --> 00:08:20.360
and it's gonna open the scriptures to you.
157
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.360
And then Ephesians 3: oh,
158
00:08:25.310 --> 00:08:27.560
that he would grant you
according to the riches
159
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.110
of his glory, to be
strengthened with might
160
00:08:30.110 --> 00:08:32.930
by His spirit in the inner man,
161
00:08:32.930 --> 00:08:36.500
that Christ may dwell in
your hearts through faith,
162
00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:41.390 line:15%
that you may be rooted
and grounded in love.
163
00:08:41.390 --> 00:08:45.350 line:15%
And you may comprehend with
all saints what is the length,
164
00:08:45.350 --> 00:08:47.780 line:15%
width, the depth and the height,
165
00:08:47.780 --> 00:08:50.990 line:15%
and to know the love of
Christ, which passes knowledge
166
00:08:52.520 --> 00:08:56.580 line:15%
Now to him, who is able to
do exceedingly above all
167
00:08:56.580 --> 00:08:59.640 line:15%
that you can ask or thank
according to the power of God
168
00:08:59.640 --> 00:09:04.620 line:15%
that works in you, to him
be glory in the church
169
00:09:06.060 --> 00:09:11.060 line:15%
by Christ Jesus to all
generations, forever and ever.
170
00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:16.250 line:15%
Amen. Amen. Amen.
171
00:09:16.350 --> 00:09:20.850 line:15%
Woo! So brother
172
00:09:20.850 --> 00:09:24.480 line:15%
Hagin, he tells that, you know, he wanted
173
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.130
to move in the power of God more.
174
00:09:26.130 --> 00:09:28.860
I mean, he loved God,
you know, he's amazing.
175
00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:32.100
But God said to him, this
is what you need to do.
176
00:09:33.810 --> 00:09:38.760
And I mean, you know the the man's life was
177
00:09:38.760 --> 00:09:40.860
a legacy to all of us.
178
00:09:43.020 --> 00:09:47.460
So go to Mark 10, and we're gonna talk about faith
179
00:09:49.260 --> 00:09:51.600
and start in verse 46.
180
00:09:53.130 --> 00:09:56.340 line:15%
Now, they came to Jericho
as he went out of Jericho
181
00:09:56.340 --> 00:09:59.815 line:15%
with his disciples and a great multitude, blind
182
00:09:59.815 --> 00:10:03.840 line:15%
Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.
183
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.580 line:15%
And I think it's interesting
184
00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:09.870 line:15%
that it doesn't say anything about anybody else being healed
185
00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:11.730 line:15%
while Jesus went through Jericho,
186
00:10:12.780 --> 00:10:15.930 line:15%
but just this blind beggar.
187
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.370 line:15%
What were those other people doing?
188
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:29.340 line:15%
Was it just for a photo op? Was was it
189
00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:31.200
they just heard about the famous man
190
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.000
and they wanted to be near him?
191
00:10:34.050 --> 00:10:38.820
Where was their faith?
What happened in Jericho?
192
00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:43.470
We only know what happened outside of Jericho to one man:
193
00:10:44.490 --> 00:10:47.250 line:15%
one man
194
00:10:47.250 --> 00:10:51.000
and he was a bagger and blind.
195
00:10:52.380 --> 00:10:55.650
And when he heard that
it was Jesus of Nazareth,
196
00:10:59.010 --> 00:11:00.240 line:15%
he heard testimonies.
197
00:11:02.310 --> 00:11:03.870 line:15%
Students, when you receive,
198
00:11:03.870 --> 00:11:08.190 line:15%
when God does something in
your life, do not hold it
199
00:11:08.190 --> 00:11:09.750 line:15%
inside.
200
00:11:09.750 --> 00:11:11.730 line:15%
Give your testimony.
201
00:11:13.140 --> 00:11:15.300 line:15%
Your testimony defeats the power
202
00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:17.670 line:15%
of the devil in somebody else's life.
203
00:11:17.670 --> 00:11:21.270 line:15%
And every time you tell
your testimony, it confirms
204
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:25.920 line:15%
to you the power of God in
you and the power of God.
205
00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:29.490 line:15%
The power of God and what he's able to do.
206
00:11:29.490 --> 00:11:32.370
So give your testimony.
207
00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:37.530
And Blind Bartimaeus has heard testimony.
208
00:11:37.530 --> 00:11:39.060
He heard of Jesus
209
00:11:40.950 --> 00:11:43.620
and it says He began to cry out
210
00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:46.800 line:15%
and say, Jesus, son of
David, have mercy on me.
211
00:11:46.800 --> 00:11:51.450
Now, he was crying out to Jesus
212
00:11:52.650 --> 00:11:54.280
because the testimonies,
213
00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:59.050
but he can't see Jesus.
214
00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:02.620 line:15%
So if you go with me in your imagination
215
00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:06.790
and picture blind Bartimaeus,
216
00:12:06.790 --> 00:12:10.030
he hears that Jesus is coming.
217
00:12:12.070 --> 00:12:16.390
Now, he doesn't know how close he is.
218
00:12:16.390 --> 00:12:20.350
He could be, he could be
one foot away from him,
219
00:12:20.350 --> 00:12:21.670
but he doesn't know.
220
00:12:22.780 --> 00:12:26.530
He could be five yards
from him. He doesn't know.
221
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:29.860
But he starts screaming,
222
00:12:34.150 --> 00:12:39.150
Son of David, have mercy on me.
223
00:12:39.430 --> 00:12:41.800
And if you read it in the commentaries,
224
00:12:41.800 --> 00:12:46.180
and he didn't say it just one
time, he said it over and over
225
00:12:46.180 --> 00:12:47.620
and over again.
226
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:53.290
He's blind. He can't see.
227
00:12:53.290 --> 00:12:56.140
So he has no way or or
228
00:12:56.140 --> 00:12:59.590
or reference of knowing
229
00:12:59.590 --> 00:13:01.960
if Jesus even hears him.
230
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:06.250
All he knows is that
he heard he was coming
231
00:13:08.770 --> 00:13:11.320 line:15%
and he's screaming out -
232
00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:15.730 line:15%
Jesus, son of David
233
00:13:17.230 --> 00:13:19.030
have mercy on me
234
00:13:21.730 --> 00:13:23.170
over and over again.
235
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:27.670
And he's screaming so loud
236
00:13:28.660 --> 00:13:31.600
and he's not the popular one in the city.
237
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.660
He is despised. He's a beggar.
238
00:13:34.660 --> 00:13:38.380
He he's blind, he's a nuisance.
239
00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:41.860
He only is asking for money.
240
00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:44.200
He doesn't give society anything.
241
00:13:45.160 --> 00:13:47.290
He only gets from society.
242
00:13:49.180 --> 00:13:50.800
He's the lowest one.
243
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:53.560
And now he's screaming
244
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.340
and you can imagine their opinions
245
00:13:57.340 --> 00:14:00.310
because we have it right
here about their opinions.
246
00:14:02.230 --> 00:14:06.160
Then verse 48: Then many warned him to be quiet.
247
00:14:07.150 --> 00:14:10.930 line:15%
Now this many warned him to be quiet.
248
00:14:10.930 --> 00:14:14.200 line:15%
It's not, oh, excuse me Blind Bartimaeus.
249
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:18.400 line:15%
Shhh - we love you Blind Bartimaeus.
250
00:14:18.400 --> 00:14:23.400 line:15%
Shhhh - No. Blind Bartimaeus - shut up!!
251
00:14:23.770 --> 00:14:26.770 line:15%
I've known you since you since I was a child.
252
00:14:26.770 --> 00:14:29.230 line:15%
You've been blind. You'll be blind when I die.
253
00:14:30.220 --> 00:14:33.910 line:15%
All you do is beg, you never give us anything.
254
00:14:33.910 --> 00:14:37.240
We're the ones giving to you.
Blind Bartimaeus - shut up.
255
00:14:38.650 --> 00:14:41.020
Jesus isn't gonna pay
any attention to you.
256
00:14:41.020 --> 00:14:42.190
You're just screaming
257
00:14:42.190 --> 00:14:45.160
and trying to get some
attention like you always do.
258
00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:47.920 line:15%
Blind Bartimaeus. The commentary said
259
00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:49.300 line:15%
that they put him down,
260
00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:54.895
but what does Blind Bartimaeus do?
261
00:14:56.572 --> 00:15:01.572
He cried out all the more.
262
00:15:04.171 --> 00:15:09.154
Son of David, have mercy on me.
263
00:15:09.154 --> 00:15:11.528
He's crying out as loud
264
00:15:20.345 --> 00:15:22.825
as his little body will allow
265
00:15:22.825 --> 00:15:23.825
him.
266
00:15:27.410 --> 00:15:29.930
He's not paying any
attention to what they say.
267
00:15:31.910 --> 00:15:35.810
He just screams louder.
Why did he scream louder?
268
00:15:37.070 --> 00:15:40.100
He knew. He knew.
269
00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:44.960
Just like our friends in Mark 2; he knew this
270
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.490
was his chance
271
00:15:47.330 --> 00:15:51.890
and he knew that he's the
only one who could heal him.
272
00:15:54.050 --> 00:15:56.150
Blind people don't get healed,
273
00:15:56.150 --> 00:15:57.150 line:15%
They die blind.
274
00:15:57.150 --> 00:16:00.200
Right? What?
275
00:16:01.550 --> 00:16:05.090
I have a chance, I have a chance to see,
276
00:16:06.975 --> 00:16:09.295
a chance to be normal to
277
00:16:20.086 --> 00:16:25.078 line:15%
Son of David, have mercy on me.
278
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.770
He screams as loud as he can.
279
00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:38.560
Okay, now look what happens.
Amazing. What happens?
280
00:16:39.050 --> 00:16:40.580
Jesus stood still,
281
00:16:44.090 --> 00:16:48.050
the faith that was in Blind Bartimaeus
282
00:16:48.050 --> 00:16:50.032
got Jesus attention
283
00:16:54.710 --> 00:16:58.100
and he commanded him to be called Oh.
284
00:16:58.100 --> 00:17:02.960 line:15%
Oh my. Then they called the
blind man saying to him,
285
00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:08.630 line:15%
oh, be of good cheer, rise.
286
00:17:08.630 --> 00:17:10.550 line:15%
He's calling you.
287
00:17:11.510 --> 00:17:13.880 line:15%
These are the same people
who told him to shut up
288
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:15.050 line:15%
and that he's a nothing.
289
00:17:17.270 --> 00:17:21.230 line:15%
And you know, when I read this, I thought, how many times
290
00:17:22.070 --> 00:17:25.670 line:15%
do we stop believing
291
00:17:25.670 --> 00:17:30.230
or we stop dreaming or we stop expecting
292
00:17:30.230 --> 00:17:32.450
because of somebody else's opinion?
293
00:17:33.800 --> 00:17:38.660
We give up our convictions
for somebody else's opinion.
294
00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:43.660
Who's gonna change like that?
You could see they hated him.
295
00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:45.230
Now they love him.
296
00:17:48.815 --> 00:17:52.140
Dear brother, he's calling you.
297
00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:57.420
Have you ever given up something
298
00:17:57.420 --> 00:18:02.250
that God put in your heart to
do for the opinion of another?
299
00:18:02.250 --> 00:18:05.430
Wow, I have
300
00:18:09.630 --> 00:18:10.710
but not anymore.
301
00:18:11.580 --> 00:18:14.700
Amen. Amen.
302
00:18:16.050 --> 00:18:19.110
Not anymore. The dream that you have
303
00:18:19.110 --> 00:18:22.380
inside is more eternal than
the opinion that they have.
304
00:18:23.250 --> 00:18:25.620
The dream that you have on the inside,
305
00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:28.590
it's greater than the
opinion that they have.
306
00:18:28.590 --> 00:18:30.450
Amen? Amen.
307
00:18:30.450 --> 00:18:33.360
When you and Jesus hook up on that dream,
308
00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:34.650
you're gonna do amazing things.
309
00:18:34.650 --> 00:18:39.300
Amen. Thank you. You're gonna
do amazing things. Yes ma'am.
310
00:18:39.300 --> 00:18:41.970
I've had so many opportunities to stop.
311
00:18:41.970 --> 00:18:42.930 line:15%
I'm not taking them,
312
00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:49.050
being married to my husband,
313
00:18:49.050 --> 00:18:53.910
can you imagine? If you wanna
314
00:18:53.910 --> 00:18:57.420
compare yourself to
somebody, oh, oh my gosh.
315
00:18:57.420 --> 00:18:58.830
And we're all human, right?
316
00:18:59.820 --> 00:19:01.620
So I've definitely compared myself
317
00:19:04.890 --> 00:19:09.210
and Jesus would say to me, Denise,
318
00:19:09.210 --> 00:19:10.890
what are you gonna say to me
319
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.030
when I look you in the eyes?
320
00:19:15.030 --> 00:19:20.030
And I say, what did you do with my power
321
00:19:20.730 --> 00:19:22.440 line:15%
and my gifts
322
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.890 line:15%
and my callings that I
put on the inside of you?
323
00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:29.910
Oh, will Jesus. You know, I
324
00:19:29.910 --> 00:19:33.480
Just couldn't get past my
insecurities and, and oh,
325
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:35.100
after all, I could just be Mrs.
326
00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:37.920
Rick Renner. I mean, that's wonderful. He is amazing.
327
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.980
You know, everybody loves him.
I could just be next to him.
328
00:19:40.980 --> 00:19:41.980 line:15%
That's okay.
329
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:51.600
That is not going to fly
330
00:19:53.610 --> 00:19:58.610
when we see Jesus. He's gonna say
331
00:19:59.100 --> 00:20:04.100
all that I did for you,
all that I paid the price
332
00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:07.440
to put the Holy Ghost
on the inside of you,
333
00:20:08.310 --> 00:20:09.360 line:15%
to never leave you
334
00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:14.100 line:15%
nor forsake you, to
empower you with my spirit,
335
00:20:14.100 --> 00:20:18.600 line:15%
my gifts, and my callings
that I put inside of you.
336
00:20:18.600 --> 00:20:23.600 line:15%
And you did not want to give
him away because you didn't
337
00:20:23.610 --> 00:20:25.890 line:15%
match up to your husband.
338
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:31.710 line:15%
Are you making excuses?
339
00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:36.300 line:15%
The problem you are
facing may feel huge,
340
00:20:36.300 --> 00:20:37.920 line:15%
but there is an answer.
341
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:42.420 line:15%
And the bridge between the problem and that answer is faith.
342
00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:45.000 line:15%
When the paralytic
man's friends were faced
343
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.300 line:15%
with an obstacle, they found
a new way to get to Jesus.
344
00:20:49.300 --> 00:20:52.750 line:15%
When the crowd was telling
blind Bartimaeus to be quiet,
345
00:20:52.750 --> 00:20:56.350
he cried out all the more
in spite of their words.
346
00:20:56.350 --> 00:20:59.320
Just like these men
pushed past the obstacles
347
00:20:59.320 --> 00:21:03.040
that stood in their way,
it's time for you to overcome
348
00:21:03.040 --> 00:21:06.010
what is holding you back. In her new series,

377
00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:28.570
Oh friend don't you love Blind Bartimaeus. I love blind
378
00:22:28.570 --> 00:22:32.440
Bartimaeus because when those people told him
379
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.800
to be quiet, he didn't say, oh, I'm sorry
380
00:22:35.800 --> 00:22:37.300
that I disturbed everybody.
381
00:22:37.300 --> 00:22:41.980
No, he said, I'm gonna scream louder.
382
00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:45.310
And he just kept screaming and screaming
383
00:22:45.310 --> 00:22:47.620
and you know, I was thinking about this.
384
00:22:48.550 --> 00:22:51.070
That's because of his faith.
385
00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:56.980
Faith will not stop.
Faith will not give up.
386
00:22:56.980 --> 00:23:01.720
Faith will just keep screaming
louder. Is that you today?
387
00:23:02.710 --> 00:23:07.180
Is God speaking to your
heart to not give up?
388
00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:09.730
Maybe you don't have what
it is you've received,
389
00:23:09.730 --> 00:23:13.150
and maybe even right now
you're tempted to give up.
390
00:23:13.150 --> 00:23:17.350
Don't give up. Blind Bartimaeus couldn't see Jesus.
391
00:23:17.350 --> 00:23:22.120
He didn't even know what
direction to scream in
392
00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:24.490
because he couldn't see him.
393
00:23:24.490 --> 00:23:27.760
But that expected hope on the inside
394
00:23:27.760 --> 00:23:30.910
of him lit a fire
395
00:23:30.910 --> 00:23:32.890
for his faith.
396
00:23:34.780 --> 00:23:37.180
Oh friend, it's so important.
397
00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:41.710
You know, Jesus said, he
said that when it came time
398
00:23:41.710 --> 00:23:44.930
for him to come, he asked the question.
399
00:23:44.930 --> 00:23:49.280
He said, will I find faith on
400
00:23:49.280 --> 00:23:50.300
the earth?
401
00:23:52.010 --> 00:23:54.590
Is he going to look at you and me
402
00:23:54.590 --> 00:23:59.150
and is he gonna find faith
when times get more difficult?
403
00:24:00.410 --> 00:24:03.920
We need to be strengthened in our faith.
404
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:06.590
We need to be like Blind Bartimaeus.
405
00:24:06.590 --> 00:24:11.240
Though he didn't have anything he was believing for,
406
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.870
he couldn't even see Jesus,
407
00:24:14.870 --> 00:24:17.120
but it didn't stop him.
408
00:24:17.120 --> 00:24:21.830
I'm praying for you right
now that you will not stop
409
00:24:21.830 --> 00:24:24.950
and you are moving toward your miracle.
410
00:24:25.820 --> 00:24:28.160 line:15%
Lord, I thank you for your power.
411
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:31.670 line:15%
That's right there, right
now, all friend, the power
412
00:24:31.670 --> 00:24:35.930 line:15%
of God is rising up in
somebody right now for you
413
00:24:35.930 --> 00:24:37.130 line:15%
to reach out
414
00:24:37.130 --> 00:24:42.130 line:15%
and take a hold of what
God is put in your heart,
415
00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:44.330 line:15%
what you're believing him for.
416
00:24:44.330 --> 00:24:45.530 line:15%
There's someone right now,
417
00:24:45.530 --> 00:24:48.680 line:15%
and you're believing for a
miracle in your finances.
418
00:24:50.180 --> 00:24:52.280 line:15%
I believe with you right now.
419
00:24:52.280 --> 00:24:54.500 line:15%
I just reach out with you right now
420
00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:59.120 line:15%
and say, in the name of
Jesus, Lord, I believe you
421
00:24:59.120 --> 00:25:04.120 line:15%
for the miracle that I
need in our finances.
422
00:25:04.730 --> 00:25:08.750 line:15%
Amen. Don't stop believing,
don't stop believing.
423
00:25:09.890 --> 00:25:12.140
Be like Blind Bartimaeus.
424
00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:16.040
What an example that he is to us.
425
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.040

because that's going to encourage you to either write
433
00:25:41.930 --> 00:25:46.460 line:15%
to somebody or to talk to somebody who will agree with you
434
00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:49.670 line:15%
in faith. We are there for you.
435
00:25:49.670 --> 00:25:54.670 line:15%

439
00:26:01.100 --> 00:26:05.420 line:15%

that God is doing great
things in your faith
442
00:26:12.620 --> 00:26:15.440
to keep moving forward.
443
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:19.790
Your faith can move mountains
444
00:26:19.790 --> 00:26:23.780
in the mountain moving God that we have.
445
00:26:24.620 --> 00:26:26.720
I'll see you on the next program.
446
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:31.340 line:15%
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
447
00:26:31.340 --> 00:26:36.340 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
448
00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:38.720 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
449
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:43.050
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
450
00:26:43.050 --> 00:26:47.730
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
451
00:26:47.730 --> 00:26:51.060
and Lord. Wash away my sin
452
00:26:51.060 --> 00:26:53.700 line:15%
and make me completely new.
453
00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:56.010 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
454
00:26:56.010 --> 00:27:01.010 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
455
00:27:01.110 --> 00:27:06.110
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
456
00:27:06.150 --> 00:27:08.760 line:15%
for the rest of my life.
457
00:27:08.760 --> 00:27:09.760 line:15%
